abstract
  • The Pacific War is the theater of WWII that took place in Asia and the Pacific, hence the name. Three of the main combatants on the Allied side were the United States, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and China, while the two Axis powers were the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Thailand. Casualties for the Allies were often high, as the Japanese (The main axis threat in the theater) had acquired skills in fighting in jungle warfare, while the US Marines had not. Also, armor and motorized units could seldom be used because of deep mud, winding or narrow roads (or the lack of roads altogether) and lack of proper supplies and small bridges, which would severely limit their movement. This was also were the majority of naval battles in WWII took place because of the size of Japan's and America's navy, and because control of the seas was critical for keeping a steady flow of supplies and troops to the area. The war resulted in a Japanese defeat as the Americans bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with devastating nuclear bombs which eventually forced the Japanese to surrender. Medal of Honor: Rising Sun was the first Medal of Honor game to take place in the Pacific Theater, and was followed by Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault.

  • The Pacific War, sometimes called the Asia-Pacific War, was the Pacific theatre of World War II, which was fought in the Pacific Ocean, its islands, and in East Asia. It includes the Pacific Ocean theatre, the South West Pacific theatre, the South-East Asian theatre, and the Second Sino-Japanese War (including the 1945 Soviet-Japanese conflict). It is generally considered that the Pacific War began on 7/8 December 1941 with the invasion of Thailand for the invasion of British Malaya, and the attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States' Territory of Hawaii by the Empire of Japan. Some authors consider that the conflict in Asia dates back to 7 July 1937, beginning with the Second Sino-Japanese War between the Empire of Japan and the Republic of China, or possibly 19 September 1931, beginning with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. However, it is more widely accepted that the Pacific War itself started in early December 1941, with the Sino-Japanese War then becoming part of it as a theater of the greater World War II. The Pacific War saw the Allied powers pitted against the Empire of Japan, the latter briefly aided by Thailand and to a much lesser extent by its Axis allies, Germany and Italy. The war culminated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and other large aerial bombing attacks by the United States Army Air Forces, accompanied by the Soviet invasion of Manchuria on 8 August 1945, resulting in the surrender of Japan and the end of fighting during World War II on 15 August 1945. The formal and official surrender of Japan occurred aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945.
